Summary
Thiago Barbosa is a results-driven QA engineer and solutions consultant with roughly a decade of hands-on experience building test strategies, automation frameworks and CI/CD-integrated pipelines across backend and frontend systems. He has a strong Java-based automation background (Selenium, REST-Assured, Cucumber) and a track record of raising test coverage and reducing escaped defects by 30–65% in multiple organizations. Thiago pairs developer experience—having worked as a software developer on microservices and unit/integration tests—with QA leadership, mentoring teammates and embedding quality early in the SDLC. Based in Paraíba, Brazil, he balances technical depth with continuous learning (specializations in algorithms, systems engineering and QA) and recently used a planned sabbatical to sharpen soft skills and stay current with QA trends. Notably, he has refactored test frameworks for scalability and integrated automated tests into pipelines to accelerate feedback loops and delivery.
